We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Approved by the Board of Education on December 22, 2025. Aug 31 is the first day of school, but only 4K, K-5, 6th and 9th grades (plus K-8 at Aldo and da Vinci) attend in person; 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades have asynchronous instruction that day. The page does not say when in-person instruction begins for those grades. Nov 25 is a teacher workday with no school, so the no-school stretch is Nov 25-27. The page lists East High graduation as May 23, 2026, which is probably a typo for 2027, so it is left out of the graduation range. John Dewey, Dr. Rosa Minoka-Hill and N.E.W. School of Innovation graduation dates are to be determined. Seniors' last day is May 20 and Half Day Head Start ends May 20. Full Day Head Start ends May 26. May 28 is no school for students (P.M. workday for 4K and elementary). Oct 30 and Apr 30 are Conference Conversion Days with no school. Aldo Leopold, Head Start Learning Center, John Dewey, Leonardo da Vinci, N.E.W. School of Innovation and Red Smith follow alternative calendars that may differ. Dates may change for weather make-up days, and options include extending the school year.
